The photos tell so much about the life of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. They show her as a child before her disease polio, then as a woman and an artist after her accident, whereof they shall always operated on and had to spend a lot of time in the hospital.
The exhibition at Marta Herford presents over 200 pictures from the collection of “Casa Azul”, the Frida Kahlo Museum. It includes photos made by Frida Kahlo and images that also show her love and passion for life. Just as the snapshots that show a laughing Frida Kahlo in the circle of her friends: “Viva la Vida”.
